Roger, the Jolly Pirate by Brett Helquist

This story tells the origin of the Jolly Roger flag flown by pirate ships. Jolly Roger was a happy pirate who wasn't much good at doing the things required of a pirate (like killing or sailing). Through an accident Jolly Roger strikes fears into other sailors, and gains the respect of his fellow pirates.

This isn't a bad story, but I much preferred the book, How I Became a Pirate. One bonus of this book, it does contain words and music for The Ballad of the Jolly Roger.

For ages 4-8.
